From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albert Conkling Coxe, Sr. (May 20, 1847 - April 15, 1923) was longtime a federal judge in New York.
Coxe was born in Auburn, New York. His legal career began with private practice in Utica from 1868 to 1882. He also served as manager of a state hospital in Utica 1880 to 1882.
In 1882, President Chester A. Arthur nominated Coxe as judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York. Coxe served as a trial-level judge of that court for twenty years, until 1902, when President Theodore Roosevelt promoted him to an appellate position on the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, headquartered in Manhattan. Coxe served on that court for 15 years, retiring from the bench in 1917. He died in 1923.
Coxe was the nephew of Alfred Conkling, who served as a U.S. Representative from upstate New York and a judge in the Northern District. Coxe's son, Alfred Conkling Coxe, Jr., also became a federal judge, serving on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York from 1929 to 1957.
